I am reviewing the shade Just Pearly..and I think this would help all of you who are in search of a good nude eye liner for the waterline ! Coz my search ends here..read on..

Jordana Color Xtend eye liners are normal sharpenable pencils..it has a matching shade cap and lower bottom..they are super creamy and glide on smoothly..no tugging no pulling..but once set, they won’t budge !
Just Pearly is a pale peachy pink nude with a slight metallic sheen..but it looks almost nudish on the waterline..brightens my eyes instantly..

After smudging
This works on the inner corners, as a highlight under the brow bone and also on the cupid’s bow..and the best thing about this is the staying power..it stays put the whole day untill you remove this with a good cleanser..I used my NYX Jumbo Pencil in Yogurt many a times as a highlight…but then it was so creamy that it did not stay long.

Sorry I did not have a pic of wearing it..would add one..

Pros:
1. Super creamy…glides on like butter.
2. Easy to sharpen..no wastage..
3. Stays put the whole day without any smudging.
4. Did not sting even when used on waterline.
5. Highlights and opens up the eyes..works on the inner corners, under the brow bone..multi purpose.
6. Economical.
7. Shade Matching cap and bottom..easy to recognise.
Cons:
1. On the official website of Jordana they have it in only one shade i.e black called Black Out..and as far as I have read..everyone is saying its discontinued and are not able to find it 🙁
2. Its not available everywhere..I got mine from Healthkart here. But the only point is if its discontinued..then I hope Healthkart is not stocking the old batch :/
3. One has to be careful that it does not get over on the lashes..
Overall I have no other cons with this..I totally love this. Its so multi purpose..and finally my perfect nude liner for waterline search has ended…and with such an awesome eye pencil..I am happy 🙂 Highly recommended.
